Autumn
It would appear that autumn is upon the left coast and that ready or not summer is being given the boot. It doesn’t yet feel like my good time summer days should be over. I know we have had some hot days this year but it feels like summer went by way too quickly. Maybe it was just that I waited for so long for it to get here that it just seemed shorter. It doesn’t seem like I got to do all the things I fantasized doing back in April. I didn’t get to the ocean enough, didn’t get to the mountains enough, I certainly didn’t get to eat enough Lingcod and Abalone! I’ve yet to get any Scallops.
I don’t think I did much of anything these last few months except work. What’s up with that? Work pretty much sucks.
Well the one bright spot is that fall and winter ushers in those other things to do like go crabbing, maybe get in a Lobster dive, hey wouldn’t that be fun. Diving into the pitch black Pacific at night descending to 100 feet or so and then sticking your hand into dark places where only evil lurks! Yeah baby!
This time of year always brings on a feeling in me that I need to start anew. Like I need some life altering moment to get me jazzed about life again. Maybe it’s just because I know the holidays are coming and I have come to abhor the holidays. Too many people running around with big jerky smiles on their faces, giggling and laughing, and buying presents and food and basically exploding with joviality all over the place!
No! That is not for me. Leave me to my sorrow and let me drink alone! If I drink enough to get happy then maybe I’ll join the party but let it be my choice. I see way to many joyful people with eyes that give them away. Their faces look like Chocolate Sundaes but their eyes look like they are trying way too hard and falling short of actually believing themselves to be happy.
I guess I could go hunting; after all it is that time of year as well. I haven’t been hunting in years but if memory serves, I always felt better after killing something. Especially if I get to eat it afterward!
What is all this crap on the news about the Supreme Court Justices being selected? Who gives a fuck? It’s not like it really has anything to do with us, the great unwashed! We pretty much get screwed no matter what happens in Washington. No matter what Party is in power, no matter what laws get passed or who gets appointed to what, we the people take it up the funny pipe regardless.
So remember, let me drown my sorrows alone in my beer this dreary end of year holiday laden politician screwing season and just maybe, if you see me with a smile on my face I’ll buy you a drink and toast to all the dumb-ass’s running around grinning as though they don’t have to get up and go to work in the morning.
